Perhaps, this was the first time Joy had seen so many of her peers. He was so excited today. He continued to talk about the various things that happened in kindergarten with Zhao Youlin like chatter.
Zhao Youlin listened to him patiently. She answered him occasionally until his voice became faint ...
When Zhao Youlin did not hear any more talk from her side, she turned around, only to see Joy fall asleep. His little head was leaning near Zhao Youlin's arm. Her red lips opened slightly, and she was breathing softly.
Zhao Youlin laughed out loud. He's a kid, and it's only natural that he's tired after playing all day.
Thinking of this, Zhao Youlin reached out and pulled her son into her arms so that she could sleep more comfortably.
The sleeping Joy felt a familiar warmth and smell all around her. He instinctively wrapped around Zhao Youlin's waist. He immersed his round face into Zhao Youlin's embrace, and he fell asleep again in satisfaction.
Zhao Youlin's gaze softened as she enjoyed watching her son's series of movements. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. However, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
He was worried about the previous incident. It would be fine if those people targeted him. But, if they see his son…
Not likely. He must find the mastermind as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would not feel comfortable.
Thinking of this, Zhao Youlin inevitably hugged her child tighter.
The familiar softness and smell on his arm relaxed his tense nerves for the day. Immediately, fatigue came to him in an instant. He could not help but close his eyes.
After driving some distance away, Xiao Jingyao noticed that they were speechless. At a traffic light, he took the opportunity to look into the rearview mirror that reflected a shadow behind him.
After seeing the two hugging tightly which depicted a pleasant image, he froze. The corner of his lips involuntarily curved.
He keeps driving. However, if one were to observe closely, one would realize that his speed was obviously greatly slowed down.
Zhao Youlin enjoyed an incredible moment of peace and quiet. Meanwhile, another completely different image was displayed in a villa at the other end of the city.
The shadow of the dappled trees and the hazy moonlight entered the room through the thin curtains fluttering on the window sill. Faintly one could see a dark shadow standing through the window.
"What?! You failed?! What are you guys doing?! How dare you ask me for money when so many of you can't even successfully handle someone ?!”
The woman's voice was intentionally muted. So, it doesn't sound so clear. However, one could clearly hear his tone filled with anger and hatred. Soon, the person on the phone reacted to this. That person seems to be affected by the woman's high-pitched voice, and she also sounds unfriendly, “Mrs, how can you say that?! We have given our best. You didn't tell us that the person we were about to kill knew how to use a weapon! My brothers were injured because of this, and one of them has been arrested by the police. We don't even know if he's alive or dead! You can not complete this account by not giving us money.”
"What did you say?! One of you has been arrested ?!” The woman raised her voice after hearing the person's words. He immediately reacted by covering his mouth in panic. He scanned the surroundings with guilt, and continued speaking in a low voice, “What happened? Why was one of your men arrested? What happens if he exposes you guys ?!”
"You're threatening me!" The woman kept her voice low. However, he seemed to gnash his teeth as he spoke.
“Mistress, don't get mad. I just put the facts. I'm sure you also don't want us all to end up unhappy. Therefore, please send gifts for this trip to us as promised before. I will treat them as medical expenses for my brothers and the money for the cover-up. That'sthat's all. Good bye."
The man just hung up the woman's phone without waiting for her reply.
When the woman heard a beep, she instinctively held the phone tightly. In the end, he no longer held back and smashed the phone on the side of the vase with all his might.
Sounded a loud bang. The sound of the vase breaking as well as the sound of the cracked cell phone rang out throughout the house. Even the curtains near the window were affected by it.
Curtains fluttering. The moonlight shone on the room and reflected that person's irritated and twisted face.
“Mother, what happened? What's with the commotion? Mom, open the door!”
The entire body of the person shuddered as he heard a sudden knocking sound at the door. He quickly withdrew his expression, took a deep breath, and he walked to the door.
As soon as the door opened, Zhao Youxi ran in from outside anxiously. He froze when he saw the situation inside the room. She turned on the lights while asking, “Mother, why don't you turn on the lights? It's so dark. Geez! What'sthat?"
The lights immediately illuminated the entire room. Zhao Youxi felt she had stepped on something. He moved his legs, and he almost sprained.
Fortunately, Li Hongyu deftly helped him, "Be careful."
After some time Zhao Youxi regained her balance. When he saw the chaos throughout the room, he froze. He turned around and looked at Li Hongyu, "Mother, are you ..."
“Ah, I just got some rest. Suddenly, I saw a mouse passing by. I was so scared that I..”.
"A rat?!" Zhao Youxi was shocked. He hurriedly grabbed Li Hongyu and instinctively retreated a few steps while looking at his surroundings in fear.
“Maybe my eyes tricked me. Don'tbeafraid. Tomorrow, I will ask Uncle Fu to inspect and clean the entire house. I will definitely not spare a single mouse.”
"okay." After hearing his words, Zhao Youxi felt even more relieved. Then, he averted his gaze and looked at the badly damaged phone, "How about this ..."
“Oh, this is my phone. I was so nervous when I saw the rat that I threw whatever was next to me. I didn't know it was my phone. Looks like I should buy another one soon.”
“So, there you go..” Zhao Youxi felt something was wrong. However, he could not understand it well. So, he nodded as he said, “I'll ask someone to clean up. Mother, you better rest early.”
